The father of a 17-year-old girl stabbed to death in an Alberta classroom says he hopes her killer rots in hell.
Family of a 17-year-old girl stabbed to death as she sat in her desk in an Alberta high school had angry words for her killer at a sentencing hearing Thursday.
Dale Winkler said loved ones of his daughter Jennifer Winkler haven't been able to move on with their lives since she was stabbed multiple times by a classmate in a high school in Leduc, south of Edmonton, in 2021.
"It's almost too much to bear," Winkler said as supporters with shirts calling for "Justice for Jenny" held back tears in a Wetaskiwin, Alta., courtroom.
He then crumpled a piece of paper and threw it at Dylan Pountney.
"Rot in hell you bastard" Winkler screamed while pointing at Pountney as he stormed out of the courtroom.
Pountney, 22, was convicted in July of second-degree murder.
He occasionally wiped tears from his face as victim impact statements were read in court.
